I hate life

I am a Y12 student and I have emailed so many dental clinics that are near me and far. They all say no and I'm started to worry that i genuinly won't find work experience in time. Please any sort of advice or tips will be well appreciated

Cold emailing will net you a very low success rate, a better way would be to go through people you know. Maybe one of your classmates' parents is a dentist?

Tbh I’m in your boat to but if you search up on the student room there may be some links.
I also tried to email private clinics back in September but they haven’t replied back yet 😔

Ask your dentist at your next appointment maybe? That's what one of my friends did and it worked for them.

Try emailing NHS hospitals that have a maxfax department. I just got work experience offers from 3 places!
